*** Official Iowa vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

It might be time to seriously consider discontinuing the basketball series with Iowa. We are the far superior basketball program and a member of the premier basketball conference in the country. Id much rather play a home and home with Notre Dame or Creighton. There is nothing to gain from playing Iowa.....

You serious Clark?! No way in hell it’ll be discontinued. It is a pretty common rivalry across the country between schools in-state. I love my Cyclones, but I’d argue that we are “far superior” every year. Just being real.

Fran keeps his starters in all game...why wouldn't TJ?
No, Fran played 10 players, the 10th player got 5 min. Contrast that to ISU, only 8 players getting minutes, Watson, the 8th player only got 4 min.

Omaha was put through a hard workout about 2 hours before tip. Not sure what to make of that exactly, but pretty sure the plan all along was for him not to play tonight.

And he agreed to it!???

I thought there was a bunch of stuff behind the scenes.

He's not ready to contribute while we're up 30? A McD's All American!? Come on brotato, we both know that it's more than that.
Besides his one good game, what have you seen out of him that makes you think he’s ready? He has been completely lost on defense, and that’s what he was known for in high school.

I don’t love it either but if he wasn’t an absolute liability, TJ would have him out there.
 
Gilbert’s out-of-control reckless offense in Florida was totally redeemed tonight. Buckets were like fish in a barrel for him tonight. Deonte Burton drove me nuts like that at times years ago.

Ok, yes, let's talk about what words to use.

Whatever works for you.

Email TJ and give him your suggestions. Let us know what you find out.

If I had a press pass it would be my first question at the press conference! He's the highest graded recruit we've ever had. You don't find it concerning that he isn't seeing the court up 30 against a team who is our biggest rival? A team he would love to perform well against as he grew up in Iowa!!!

I'm not dissing TJ, hes a great coach and I trust him, so you can stop 'White Knight'ing. I just want to see this hometown kid get a chance.

Margin of victory matters for your NET ranking, which is considered in seeding for the NCAA Tournament…. so F Iowa and them pressing us in the last few minutes.

We took Lipsey out with 4 mins left, with no intention of putting him back in, but if Fran is going to be a d-bag…. then F him!

I don't get it fellas. Fran played his subs more than we did. Look at the box score.

Has Rob’s ft shooting improved enough that he’s a crunch time end of game player if Ward gets back. He’s definitely turning into a guy you want getting heavy minutes. Right now we need him out there even if the other team intentionally fouls but at full strength Tre, ward and Milan is a pretty big and long front line defensively.

I haven’t looked at the ft #s but the shot looks better to my eyes at least.

No. I've watched him play and have no concerns with him not playing tonight.

ISU has given up big leads and I'd guess had it stamped to finish instead of worrying about who played.

Recruiting rankings don't mean automatic amazing all the time.

I'm sure the staff and him are figuring out the best situation.

It's going to be Ok.

Not sure if you knew this, but based on your posts, you don’t. Omaha is about 6 weeks behind. He was playing with Team USA. Therefore, he’s going to be a little behind. By the time B12 play rolls around, he will be fine. Also, I speak for a lot of us when I say this, thank **** you don’t have a press pass
